Leading Israeli figure in the “lawfare movement.” Represented Al-Haq in a lawsuit filed in Canada seeking judicial declaration that Israel is guilty of committing “war crimes” and that the security barrier is illegal. The case was dismissed with partial costs. Sfard was prominently featured in the Al Jazeera documentary, Courtroom Intifada, where Sfard admitted that this case was filed in order to “keep it in the news.” Sfard has stated, “Our targeted killings policy approaching a crime against humanity…International law obligates all states in the world to investigate them and prosecute them if there is enough evidence. If not Israel, then England. If not the Supreme Court, then the House of Lords.”

Sfard testified as a paid expert witness on behalf of the PLO in a lawsuit brought in US Federal Court in Miami by victims of terror attacks perpetrated by the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades (Saperstein v. Palestinian Authority, PLO).
